If only they had adequate brakes, steering, and suspension. Oh, and if only they weren't much more likely to crash and have ridiculous build shortcomings. On the other hand, it's only more than double the price of a C8 with upgraded suspension. Then, for a few grand more than the C8 there's the ZO6. It's faster than its brother and fully drag strip and road course ready upon delivery. Yup, that's a difficult choice, right? Then there's Elon Musk's habit of screwing its customers by doing things like selling their confirmed, ordered and VIN numbered cars out from under them for $10,000 more. Or, announcing models and then just deciding against building them. What a great guy!
@@ronlheureux7623 everything you just said is typical hater. you talk about breaks, stering, and supesion. if you look at their website you find that they sell better brakes which customers can buy... they do cost a lot but they still cost less then for example porsch selles them for. you talk about stering and suspession but people that review and people that drive it, say its incredible and by just a software update they can make them fell even better. i ask you, did you ride the car to say what you just said? because i have and i saw many other people ride and also talk about it,and everything you said its BS!!! this is not a race car, its a family sedan that as great specs. i think its funny, the guy comes and says its his dream car, but you have to come here and talk bad about tesla and elon, why? its just sad!! and then you come up with confirmed orders and VIN numbered cars, and selling for 10k more, again all BS, when the cars got more expensive everyone that got reservation before the price increses, they paid what they ordered, that was something it was asked to elon on twitter and he responded, and later was indeed confirmed. and you talk about models that are announce and arent then build, i would assume you are talking about the model s plaid+...if you research why, you would find that the car comes with the next generation battery that only comes next year, and when that battery comes, it will be put on every model, meaning that the current model s plaid will have the same specs of the model s plaid+ when the next year batteries are produced. so why have a plaid+, when the plaid from next year will have the same specs?!?! thats why they didnt produce it, this year!!! you dont need to like tesla or elon, but thats your problem, its just sad that you need to bring hate to a comment about a guy that said the plaid is its dream car. you have your dream car, he has his. grow up and stop hating, the world needs less of that!!
@@ronlheureux7623 It's true that the Tesla Model S Plaid has alot of shortcomings. It's a heavy af car that is definitely underbraked. But on the road it's still amazing. Since it is a family sedan. Most people aren't going top speeds on a race track, it wasn't built for that imo.
@@ronlheureux7623 Brakes need upgrading (on the way. Suspension and steering is actually pretty good for a sports sedan . I’ll be upgrading to carbons soon.
I like this format...no gimmicky nonsense and all racing. Well done. That being said I would still take the C8 for the handling, looks and sound. Plaid is fast as hell (can't deny it) but how often are you really racing versus driving around with the windows down? For me thats less than 1% racing and greater than 99% driving around listening to the orchestra under the hood. 🍻
I get a lot of negative comments from C8 owners because I traded my C8 2LT Z51 in on a Tesla Plaid and kept my 850hp C7Z06. They just don’t get how the C8 just feels slower in comparison to the others. Then they resort to oh the Tesla is just a 1 trick pony 0-60, and I’m like have you checked out some of the road course times. Then with the C8Z they were criticizing that the C8Z shouldn’t be compared to a Plaid because it’s meant for the track. So the first thing the C8Z is bench marked against is 0-60 and 1/4 mile. Lol. They say oh the C8Z does 154mph in the 1/2 mile, I’m like the Plaid does that in the 1/4 lol.
Badass! This is EXACTLY why I sold my highly tuned, built GT500 and all the stuff needed to keep it running and got a plaid. Off the lot its severely under-braked for a track, fine on the regular streets- but once my carbon ceramics arrive, its a whooole different story. And once the 165mph limiter comes off - its fukn OVER at my track. I already spank everyone there (except the gorgeous 2 race lambo running 1900 hp). The lambo basically only races 3 times a month for 2 runs on race days because of all the rebuilding and tuning and headaches, fluid swaps etc. while I get to race weekly all day and JUST PARK when I get home and drive to work the next day in the same car. Its like the entire paradigm has shifted! Even in my GT as a daily it was an inconsistent pain in the azz if I am honest. I have been modding for 20+ years and I cant wait to see what hacks I can do for EV's next (I code too, so it will help). I will NEVER go back to ICE and its nonsense again. I found a new love! EV's are the future AND the NOW - Mr lambo can have his self-sacrificing engine - I'll keep my rocketship.

@@HillslamsMirror Exactly, They build a mega car with that POS of 6.2L engine based on a 90's engine hahahahaha, why ? because of the stupid nostalgia fans like you. 🤣🤣🤣 Yes, It's Drag Race and stop with your excuses because that's the type of racing people do the most, so that's what it counts the most too!!! 😂😂😂 The 80s and 90's are over my friend , learn how to live the reality of today. This C8 is a HORRIBLE car for drag racing, that's about it. all that because of the pushrod engine. But GM engineers are dumb ferraris wannabe's that's why they design the new Z06 and made it sound like some euro car not like an american V8 anymore. Even that they got it wrong, late and again, GM sucks ass except for the chevy Big block and old school 60s' 70's which I respect, have and love but yeah, this new vette is JUNK.
it doesn't matter you doing sports mode or not you are twice horsepower as the Stingray. the Vette won't stand a chance on drag race, but track is another story. Model S Plaid does quarter Mile in like 9.4s, it's way faster even than the 911 Turbo S. But 170k on a electric car, nah, man, never.......
the model s plaid is 130k!!!! is still a lot of money, but just like he said in the video, for the specs its the best money can buy!!! and having in count that is like a family sedan, with those specs, makes it super cool!!! still, super expensive but once again, in terms of price/performance is the best out there. could be wrong but at least it seems!!!
130k and does 9.2s on the street at full charge, with carbon ceramic brakes it could likely take the 4 door record at the nurburgring. The plaid is not a sport car, is it still a family highway car built for practicality and safety 4800lbs keeps it from being a real track car but turn it into a road missile
Can we please be done with this dumb trend? A stock Plaid on street tires lost by maybe a fender length to Ken Block's purpose-built, 1400awhp race car that was carrying less than half the weight. Anything south of the Hoonicorn or similar caliber race cars is going to lose to a Plaid. It runs consecutive 10's. Instant 1000ft lbs. No torque curve. We get it. Please. Move on.
I have both 2021 plaid and a 2023 z51 with magna-ride. Love them both! Plaid is disrespectfully fast. C8 can feel slow after driving the plaid, however on windy roads the c8 comes alive. There is room for both no need to hate one or the other. 😎
St thomas has a bump near the end, almost put my helmet through my Sunroof on my 2018 SL63.. And you are going pretty fast you have to get on the brakes, not a lot of track at the end.
Bought a Model S P85 back in 2015 now 125,000 uk miles later its still a hoot to drive. was 4.2 0-60 but 2 years ago an OTA gave it 4.0 0-60 but more to the point Tesla unleashed loads more grunt from the rear only Induction motor so the way this thing goes is old skool leary drift machine which for me is addictive. Ive a Roadster and Plaid S deposits down and went to Test Model 3 performance at the weekend. You know I missed the grunt of the P85 it so surprised me the model 3 was great but not that great for me as Im used to driving bigger cars (300c Chrysler was last one) but this all goes to show electric drive trains for me are such fun, so controllable, and Teslas are mental performance as stock.
@@petersimplife I just find it funny to see these types of videos when you already know the outcome. I mean all Tesla cars are the fastest production cars on earth. I saw a Tesla S beat a Dodge Hellcat with ease.

@@ericship8383 Only ICE car that has managed to beat the Plaid in the 1/4 mile is the $4M Chiron Pur Sport, but still got dusted by the Lucid Sapphire. Rimac Nevera makes even a Chiron SS look like a snail for much cheaper.
Versus the C7 ZR1 would have been a better race. The z51 had no chance. I'd still rather have the C8. It's better looking and has enough giddy up to make it fun on the street. It's also cheap for what you're getting (100k on average). Corvettes are the best value when it comes to super cars.
Wow. Really impressed with the results. I was born in 1991. Corvettes were the fastest cars in my time for over 10 years straight. For once, they lose. But to reassure myself. If there was a zombie apocalypse, I wonder which car would last longer. Definitely not the Tesla. A motor car can be handled by humans that were mechanics before the apocalypse AND the car can go for awhile if you can siphon gas from other cars. Where will you find a spare Tesla battery? Almost impossible
Lol you definitely want a tesla. Especially with teslas power wall and solar home system, where are you going to find gas in a year when it's all used up at the stations? You can just use a solar pannel for 30 years to charge your car with a battery that can handle 20 years, or use gas to power a generator and do it that way, also a EV is much more quite, you can also fix them despite people thinking they can't, tesla trains 3rd party repair shops to repair their cars.
Nobody ever does a top speed run, or a standing mile or a road course in these things. Because then they get walked. And then Musk's internet brigade comes for you. Can't have that. C8 top speed: 194mph Plaid top speed: 175mph
There are plenty of videos showing 1/2 mile races in the Plaid where it is riding at 175 mph for a lot of the race. When they finally extend the limiter to 200, it’s game over.
Skip 741 yes that plaid is CRAZY quick ( notice I didn't say FAST) in a QUARTER MILE race, because in a TOP SPEED run, the vette would smoke the Tesla like a cheap cigar. And, this is NOT my silly OPINION but facts; VERIFIED top speed of plaid, only 164 m.p.h.( as of this moment, no pie in the sky b.s. from musk about 200 ( supposedly) m.ph. COMING, top end RIGHT now is 164 m. p.h. verified top end of vette, depending on test publication used between 188 and 191 m.p.h.!! Don't believe me?, Look it up. I feel it's only fair to include ALL performance data. Ha ha !!!! P.s. video was very well done!!!!!! Cheers!!!!
Hi skip 741, actually I was wrong a bit before on my recollection of the top speed of a c8. It's actually, and this is verified, 194 m.p.h!. And this from a car with a list price of about 66 thousand dollars? And, it can FLY around corners, unlike a porky 2 and a half ton plaid. Not bad, not bad at all!
Twice the price and twice the horsepower... Not shocked the Tesla won. Corvette is still worth every penny; it's a sweet car all around and more than fast enough for the street.
well you can race any car ( in stock condition ), even chiron and tesla would still win a quater mile. ofc chiron will take it in longer run cause it has a higher topspeed but quater mile, there's no competition
I have a 2022 C8 but this is No contest. And the C8 Z06 is also no match. Any damn Lamborghini, Ferrari, McLaren, or $3 mil Buggatti does not defeat Plaid in a drag race from a dead start. But Teslas are all about bragging rights. Owners of Teslas drive them like old grannies because they are always checking their charge.
@@ACCELER8TV I own a p100d, not the new plaid. It's 1500lbs heavier than that Corvette, have to take that into account and mph exit at quarter mile. 5k will get you the upgraded carbon brake kit. In my opinion it's pretty good stopping power for a car that weighs 4800lbs. Something has to give...just annoyed that I see that comment on almost every race video I see with the plaid...it's something that's out of this world. Destroys any production car. Thanks for putting out content though

I love Teslas....but just think, at 171K you could have 2 C 8's for that price. You could buy income property for that. Seems every couple of months another 5-10 K is added to Tesla's price. Somebody is really getting milked. I do recommend buying Tesla stock though, it's finally going back up.
Getting sick of these obviously predictable races you could have did something creative like sitting on his rear bumper and driving around him at half track😂😂😂
of coarse the $ electric car $ would win this race...🧐 however dollar for dollar the corvette is the better car... 😎 the E-cars will be great when the price comes down and distance goes up.😘
I totally agree on price for lower end EVs, but for performance EVs like the Plaid, it wins “dollar for dollar” by far. It has a faster 1/4 mile time than the Bugatti Chiron for 20x cheaper.
If you just want to watch the races - skip to these time markers!

But nobody ever shows that do they? Its dragrace dragrace dragrace. When you can only do one thing, you do one thing. Over and over and over. Yawn.
@@HillslamsMirror Exactly, They build a mega car with that POS of 6.2L engine based on a 90's engine hahahahaha, why ? because of the stupid nostalgia fans like you. 🤣🤣🤣 Yes, It's Drag Race and stop with your excuses because that's the type of racing people do the most, so that's what it counts the most too!!! 😂😂😂
The 80s and 90's are over my friend , learn how to live the reality of today. This C8 is a HORRIBLE car for drag racing, that's about it. all that because of the pushrod engine. But GM engineers are dumb ferraris wannabe's that's why they design the new Z06 and made it sound like some euro car not like an american V8 anymore. Even that they got it wrong, late and again, GM sucks ass except for the chevy Big block and old school 60s' 70's which I respect, have and love but yeah, this new vette is JUNK.
it doesn't matter you doing sports mode or not you are twice horsepower as the Stingray. the Vette won't stand a chance on drag race, but track is another story. Model S Plaid does quarter Mile in like 9.4s, it's way faster even than the 911 Turbo S. But 170k on a electric car, nah, man, never.......
the model s plaid is 130k!!!! is still a lot of money, but just like he said in the video, for the specs its the best money can buy!!! and having in count that is like a family sedan, with those specs, makes it super cool!!! still, super expensive but once again, in terms of price/performance is the best out there. could be wrong but at least it seems!!!
130k and does 9.2s on the street at full charge, with carbon ceramic brakes it could likely take the 4 door record at the nurburgring.
The plaid is not a sport car, is it still a family highway car built for practicality and safety 4800lbs keeps it from being a real track car but turn it into a road missile
And that $170,000 is before financing it for 84 months! Make it over $180,000 you get what you pay for ..but it's just way too pricey 👎
A turbo s has 400 less hp
@@zoyaspencer8025 actually the taycan turbo s is 180k bozo
Dont you think a z06 track package wouldve been a better choice ?
This video is over a year old….Z06 wasn’t out yet.
The braking is worrying. That’s why there’s the Track Package. Right?
Amazing! Came here after IG post 💯
Wow! Sick!! It's a rocket on land!! Now if all the power in world came with sharp breaks and supreme handing...
Can't wait to get my P90D 😍
how fast where you going in MPH at the finish line in Plaid and in Sport?
Can I interest you in some $20,000 carbon fiber brakes? Just this way....
No, but I'll take those Uplugged Performance Carbon Ceramic Front BBK in the corner for $10k.
I will personally volunteer the The Hyundai Palisade if you ever get a GTI or Mazda 3 again
It’s crazy how much cheaper the plaid is now compared to when this video came out
I'm a really old GearHead, but I love it when an EV kicks ICE ass.
Tesla is god mode,
I’m buying one ☝️
Can we please be done with this dumb trend?
A stock Plaid on street tires lost by maybe a fender length to Ken Block's purpose-built, 1400awhp race car that was carrying less than half the weight.
Anything south of the Hoonicorn or similar caliber race cars is going to lose to a Plaid.
It runs consecutive 10's. Instant 1000ft lbs. No torque curve. We get it. Please. Move on.
Hahaha, you do have a point there.👍
I have both 2021 plaid and a 2023 z51 with magna-ride. Love them both! Plaid is disrespectfully fast. C8 can feel slow after driving the plaid, however on windy roads the c8 comes alive. There is room for both no need to hate one or the other. 😎
That is so sad for Vette fanboys that they stand no chance against a nerd car. 😂
not really, it's a track car...
That's right family car again sports car
Yea that family car has 700 more hp lmao try again
If the rumors are true just wait for the c8 ZR1 because its supposed to be a 1000hp hybrid. More accurate competition there.
Looking forward to seeing that race!
True, but god knows what Tesla will have out when the ZR1 come out. ZR1s don’t usually come out until towards the end of a Corvette generation.
St thomas has a bump near the end, almost put my helmet through my Sunroof on my 2018 SL63.. And you are going pretty fast you have to get on the brakes, not a lot of track at the end.
Double the HP, shocking results
Could you fit it with bigger breaks🤔
@Bazil I think everyone figures the weight is the problem. Its easier and slightly safer to improve the breaking. We stuck with the 5000 lbs.
Spelling's not your strength
Bought a Model S P85 back in 2015 now 125,000 uk miles later its still a hoot to drive. was 4.2 0-60 but 2 years ago an OTA gave it 4.0 0-60 but more to the point Tesla unleashed loads more grunt from the rear only Induction motor so the way this thing goes is old skool leary drift machine which for me is addictive. Ive a Roadster and Plaid S deposits down and went to Test Model 3 performance at the weekend. You know I missed the grunt of the P85 it so surprised me the model 3 was great but not that great for me as Im used to driving bigger cars (300c Chrysler was last one) but this all goes to show electric drive trains for me are such fun, so controllable, and Teslas are mental performance as stock.
That gave me butterflies lol
Could've beaten the Corvette in Chill mode for the ultimate burn.. Oh the irony
I don’t think so, chill is a bit slow
No , it's really slow in chill mode , runs 15s 1/4 mile th-cam.com/video/pYU-mNWMFjM/w-d-xo.html
No test gear like a Dragy GPS?
Get the track package for the Plaid and see a world of difference.
I know the Tesla won without even watching the video.
I would hope you would know with all the headlines about it being the fastest from 0 to 60 production car on earth.
@@petersimplife I just find it funny to see these types of videos when you already know the outcome. I mean all Tesla cars are the fastest production cars on earth. I saw a Tesla S beat a Dodge Hellcat with ease.
@@petersimplife lmao you’re joking right? Tesla is no where near the fastest production car on earth how could it be the fastest car on earth when it’s top speed is slower than a 2005 zr1 corvette
@@BamaScorpio69 lmao no they aren’t bozo a model s plaid only does 200 mph many cars could easily beat it on an airstrip or track
Tesla model S Plaid is the best right now
Nah many cars are faster
@@ericship8383 Only ICE car that has managed to beat the Plaid in the 1/4 mile is the $4M Chiron Pur Sport, but still got dusted by the Lucid Sapphire. Rimac Nevera makes even a Chiron SS look like a snail for much cheaper.
Versus the C7 ZR1 would have been a better race. The z51 had no chance. I'd still rather have the C8. It's better looking and has enough giddy up to make it fun on the street. It's also cheap for what you're getting (100k on average). Corvettes are the best value when it comes to super cars.
I get the point of showing off the plaids performance but 1000 plus hp vs 400 plus hp??
Not too mention the offset price .
The Tesla is not too much faster than the Vette . But waaaay more pricer!
@@fernandobenavidez4060 not too much faster LOL . 😆 low 9 second car vs mid 11 second car is a football field distance in 1/4 mile race
@@derekk5992 well let's take it onto the Indy 500 track ...see who comes out on top?😊😊
The Tesla is just a one trick pony...the suspension is shit!!
these cars arent even in the same league lol
Wow. Really impressed with the results. I was born in 1991. Corvettes were the fastest cars in my time for over 10 years straight. For once, they lose. But to reassure myself. If there was a zombie apocalypse, I wonder which car would last longer. Definitely not the Tesla. A motor car can be handled by humans that were mechanics before the apocalypse AND the car can go for awhile if you can siphon gas from other cars. Where will you find a spare Tesla battery? Almost impossible
Lol you definitely want a tesla. Especially with teslas power wall and solar home system, where are you going to find gas in a year when it's all used up at the stations? You can just use a solar pannel for 30 years to charge your car with a battery that can handle 20 years, or use gas to power a generator and do it that way, also a EV is much more quite, you can also fix them despite people thinking they can't, tesla trains 3rd party repair shops to repair their cars.
What about the corvette e ray
Nobody ever does a top speed run, or a standing mile or a road course in these things. Because then they get walked. And then Musk's internet brigade comes for you.
Can't have that.
C8 top speed: 194mph
Plaid top speed: 175mph
Would love to do that top speed test, but we don’t have a track that’s long enough around here.
There are plenty of videos showing 1/2 mile races in the Plaid where it is riding at 175 mph for a lot of the race. When they finally extend the limiter to 200, it’s game over.
Good Lord! seeing the fast c8 getting dusted like its a prius was sad but thats the new reality we are in now
Skip 741 yes that plaid is CRAZY quick ( notice I didn't say FAST) in a QUARTER MILE race, because in a TOP SPEED run, the vette would smoke the Tesla like a cheap cigar. And, this is NOT my silly OPINION but facts; VERIFIED top speed of plaid, only 164 m.p.h.( as of this moment, no pie in the sky b.s. from musk about 200 ( supposedly) m.ph. COMING, top end RIGHT now is 164 m. p.h. verified top end of vette, depending on test publication used between 188 and 191 m.p.h.!! Don't believe me?, Look it up. I feel it's only fair to include ALL performance data. Ha ha !!!! P.s. video was very well done!!!!!! Cheers!!!!
Hi skip 741, actually I was wrong a bit before on my recollection of the top speed of a c8. It's actually, and this is verified, 194 m.p.h!. And this from a car with a list price of about 66 thousand dollars? And, it can FLY around corners, unlike a porky 2 and a half ton plaid. Not bad, not bad at all!
Tesla is not a car - it's a toy for person who have never really learned to drive without assistance systems
Perfect a car made for everyone.
This applies to all modern cars, not just Tesla…
Subd, liken the clip so far! Going to check out your other vid's ;)
I'd buy the Vette just because I would have confidence it would stop.
Awesome race I bet you can easy bit him in chill mode too!!!! Plaid is pure awesome slick elegant super practical beauty!!!!!
No , it won't. It runs 15s in chill mode
th-cam.com/video/pYU-mNWMFjM/w-d-xo.html
It only goes 200 mph
@@ericship8383 more than enough it's all 👍!!
Not a fare match, but a drag race none the less with two fast cars.
Mostly to show how insane the plaid is, as the corvette is already a very fast car.
Y’all don’t wanna know what that E ray will do to that Tesla
Ok yeah..that was ridiculous 😳
Twice the price and twice the horsepower... Not shocked the Tesla won. Corvette is still worth every penny; it's a sweet car all around and more than fast enough for the street.
well you can race any car ( in stock condition ), even chiron and tesla would still win a quater mile. ofc chiron will take it in longer run cause it has a higher topspeed but quater mile, there's no competition
@@devyashjangid2425 quarter miles aren’t everything
@@ericship8383 you won't be going past 150 or 160 on regular basis tbh. And upto that plaid's acceleration is mad
Not to mention plaid is way more value for money than any sports/hyper car
And is the safest one too
@@devyashjangid2425 Guess that's depends on what you "value"
How is this even a race? Literally the Tesla has a little more than double the HP to the Vette
1:50
I have a 2022 C8 but this is No contest. And the C8 Z06 is also no match. Any damn Lamborghini, Ferrari, McLaren, or $3 mil Buggatti does not defeat Plaid in a drag race from a dead start. But Teslas are all about bragging rights. Owners of Teslas drive them like old grannies because they are always checking their charge.
True
Great video, that Tesla is so fast! I would still take the Vette though. Looks like the St Thomas track.
St. Thomas track indeed!
So corny how so many people complain about the brakes..yeah you're going 160mph, it's going to take couple secs to fully stop..
You need to try driving it. They are terrible and not up to par with other vehicles in this price range/weight/performance.
@@ACCELER8TV I own a p100d, not the new plaid. It's 1500lbs heavier than that Corvette, have to take that into account and mph exit at quarter mile. 5k will get you the upgraded carbon brake kit. In my opinion it's pretty good stopping power for a car that weighs 4800lbs. Something has to give...just annoyed that I see that comment on almost every race video I see with the plaid...it's something that's out of this world. Destroys any production car. Thanks for putting out content though
@@carlosr5835 eh many heavier cars stop easily
It all sounds great .
$125,000 ?
Despite tesla being way faster, I would choose Corvette I would enjoy much more
All Tesla videos do ONE thing and ONE thing only: drag race. YAWN!
You want to do ORIGINAL CONTENT? Take that whale to a track day and put laps on it.
(can't have that now can we? Because some clapped-out 2004 Mazda Miata will go sailing by you, and then the IT Middle Managers in Musk's online brigade come and review bomb your video)
Now we wait for the ZO6 but then someone does a Twin Turbo it’s a match
even a supercharger would be a bit closer
still get gaped lol

In the first race, the tesla beat the corvette by one panel gap.
Now race to see how many people give a “thumbs up” to the plaid versus the C8. …Let me guess who takes the win on that one??🤔
Tesla 1000hp Corvette 500hp
Tesla cost over twice as much.
Even just waching it under braking is unnerving.
I love Teslas....but just think, at 171K you could have 2 C 8's for that price. You could buy income property for that. Seems every couple of months another 5-10 K is added to Tesla's price. Somebody is really getting milked. I do recommend buying Tesla stock though, it's finally going back up.
Insane how the Plaid is only $115k in the US now in 2023.
I'll stick with my miata :)
I don’t blame u. It’s fun and affordable.
Good call. I just bought a C7 convertible. Probably going to keep it the rest of my life.

Getting sick of these obviously predictable races you could have did something creative like sitting on his rear bumper and driving around him at half track😂😂😂
of coarse the $ electric car $ would win this race...🧐 however dollar for dollar the corvette is the better car... 😎 the E-cars will be great when the price comes down and distance goes up.😘
Doller per doller the plaid is a superior car, it has 5 seats.
I totally agree on price for lower end EVs, but for performance EVs like the Plaid, it wins “dollar for dollar” by far. It has a faster 1/4 mile time than the Bugatti Chiron for 20x cheaper.
